SOSNOVSKOYE, Russia (Sputnik) - On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Russian journalists following the informal summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States and the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in the Leningrad region.
Russia might use the Oreshnik missile systems again if necessary, but this will not be a rushed decision, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
"If the need arises and we see that the use of more powerful medium-range weapons is required, we will certainly use them [Oreshnik]. But we're not in a hurry," Putin told a press conference.
Russia currently has multiple Oreshnik missile systems, albeit "not many," but has already launched flow production to ensure "adequate quantity," the Russian president noted.

Furthermore, Russia will continue to achieve all the goals of the special military operation in Ukraine in 2025, because this task is number one, Putin stated.

"Of course, we assume that we will solve all the goals of the special military operation. In general, this is the number one task. We will support our people. We are talking now, and they are fighting now," Putin told the news conference, adding that he was interested in the situation on the battlefield every day.
